Silver price (XAG/USD) remains mildly offered around $23.30 amid early Monday as it consolidates the biggest daily gains in nearly two-month, marked the previous day. In doing so, the bright metal also justifies the market’s rush towards the US Dollar even as the policymakers announced the initial agreement on the US debt ceiling extension.

Also luring the XAG/USD sellers is the RSI (14) line surrounding the overbought territory, as well as the impending bear cross on the MACD indicator.

With this, the Silver Price is all set to test the 100-Hour Moving Average (HMA) support of near $23.20, quickly followed by the $23.00 round figure.

However, the latest swing low of around $22.70, marked the previous day, may challenge the XAG/USD bears afterward.

Meanwhile, the Silver price recovery needs validation from the 200-HMA and a two-week-old descending resistance line, respectively near $23.45 and $23.60.

Even so, the $24.00 threshold and the mid-month swing high of around $24.20 may test the XAG/USD buyers before giving them the control.

Above all, the Silver price remains bearish unless crossing the late April bottom of around $24.50.

To sum up, XAG/USD remains on the bear’s radar even if the commodity sellers lack acceptance of late.

AUD/USD seems vulnerable near 0.6800, 10-month low amid bullish USD

AUD/USD languishes near a 10-month low during the Asian session on Friday, awaiting a break below 0.6800 before the next leg up amid a bullish US Dollar. Firming Fed rate-hike expectations, along with fading hopes for US-Iran diplomacy, help the USD hold gains at its highest level since April 2025. Moreover, the RBA’s dovish tilt undermines the Aussie and backs the case for further losses.

USD/JPY bulls turn cautious near 160.00 amid intervention risks

USD/JPY enters a bullish consolidation phase around its highest level since early September as bulls turn cautious amid intervention risk near 160.00. Meanwhile, the downside seems cushioned as the wide US-Japan interest rate gap keeps the Yen carry trade active. Furthermore, the possibility of a jumbo Fed rate hike and Middle East uncertainties hold the US Dollar near a 19-month top, supporting the currency pair.

Gold remains on the back foot below $3,900

Gold now alternates gains with losses below the $3,900 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The precious metal struggles to regain traction amid the firmer US Dollar, mixed US Treasury yields and expectations of further tightening by the Fed at its December meeting.

Bitcoin just posted five straight losing weeks, and the storm may not be over yet

Bitcoin is struggling to find support, slipping below $70,000 as multiple headwinds threaten to push the Crypto King lower. The much-anticipated “Uptober” rally failed to materialize, with persistent selling pressure and widespread liquidations instead reinforcing the “Rektober” narrative.

Week ahead – Fed Minutes, inflation data and Nvidia earnings to guide investors

Fed minutes may add to hawkish tone as bets of 50-bps hike grow. Nvidia to report earnings as bar to impress high after spy scandal. Trade and geopolitics to be focal point of Trump-Xi summit.

Gold hit its lowest level of 2026 near $3,850

Gold (XAU/USD) attempts to stabilize around $3,890 on Friday after falling to $3,852 on Thursday, its lowest level since October 2025. The precious metal has lost more than 4% this week, as investors increasingly anticipate further monetary tightening from the Federal Reserve (Fed). The latest decline reflects a sharp change in market expectations.
